After self-producing several of his own solo albums throughout the 2000’s, Cecil Otter rose to fame as one half of the mashup duo Wugazi, a remix project that overlapped the gritty raps of Wu-Tang Clan with the sounds of post-rock vets Fugazi.  The project went instantly viral and garnered high praise from the likes of NBC, Rolling Stone, MTV, and even Jay-Z’s own site, Life + Times.  Dear Echo marks Cecil’s first new collection of solo material since 2008’s Rebel Yellow.

My two favorite genres, including all the subgenres under their umbrellas, have always been Industrial and HipHop. I just want to create music that honors my love for them and share it with the world before I die. I also love poetry and philosophy so I figured, "why not fuse everything I love together?"
